Backroads Hiring & Training Dates

The final step in our hiring process is an invitation to attend a group Hiring Event. If offered a position, you’ll be invited to attend a 2-week, paid, Backroads Leadership Program before entering the field.

Upcoming Hiring Events

We are excited to offer both in-person and virtual Hiring Events to be more accessible and inclusive to our candidates. Virtual Hiring Events will take place via video over 3 hours. In person Hiring Events will be fun and engaging day-long group interviews including meals and the opportunity to meet many fellow candidates and members of the hiring team. We are hosting our In-Person Hiring Events earlier in the season. Attending an earlier hiring event increases an applicant’s chance of employment. If both options are feasible for you, we encourage attending an in-person event. Plus, they’re just more fun!

All virtual events will be from 8:30 to 11:30 am MST
